It’s “Cookie Day” Lovely! How sweet!
They must surely mean cookies we eat,
And not info that’s stored
By the sites we’ve explored,
For the latter ain’t always a treat!

Said a pompous new neighbor named Jess:
“What degrees have I earned? Come on, guess!”
My response was to lapse
Into rudeness, perhaps:
“l am sick of your crappy BS!”

It's “Absurdity” Day. How absurd
To describe just one day with that word.
For you’ll have to admit
That “absurd’s” a fine fit
For most days ... or at least a good third.

Stop writing haiku?
No more five-seven-fiving?
Please perish the thought!

Here's my limerick for "National Bagel Day."

Is “Bagel Day” fun, or just folly?
I suppose it makes bagel fans jolly,
Served with lox and cream cheese,
Maybe onion, but jeez,
I would rather just have a bialy.

Another excerpt of #haiku eBook I created those close to share #poetry #writing combined with images project I'm working on.

#Prompt/Theme: fear

Not sure yet how much I will share with the world but it's been an intriguing experience. It has helped me live in the present, so neat to share as a present ;)

He thinks he's flawless.
But alas, he is lawless.
I wish he'd jaw less.
